    How is this any different from capital punishment when you cross the deep end of the law, OP? Of course the diction used is vague enough to apply to anyone the US "suspects" as terrorist but still how is it a shock that governments would kill citizen that oppose it. The fact that the government (ours or any else) would kill someone (regardless of citizenship, at home or abroad) without due process should already inspire the red flag of injustice

    In Hitler's Germany it was legal to send Jews to the gas chambers. Just because they pass a law, it doesn't make it right. There will always be a day of retribution, just like Nuremburg.

    Well, I was going off of Annonomous's own videos, where they claim to have been labeled as a terrorist organization by the FBI and/or the US Government. But apparently, the FBI doesn't release an actual list of domestic terrorists. They do however have a cyber terror division, and the director of the FBI is shifting a lot of resources over to "cyber terror."

    There is also no arguing with people who believe that everything they read is all part of a great conspiracy against them.

    'claim' being the operative word. They would probably also claim police brutality if any of them were arrested, and claim diplomatic immunity if they happened to be arrested in a city they were not born in.

    Thanks for being honest.

    There is a massive difference between 'cyber terrorism' and 'domestic terrorism' - to conflate the two is unfair.

    Only one step away from using drones on the fanatical extremists like the Timothy McVeigh style "survivalists" that are so paranoid of the "evil empire", that they practice war games in the woods to prepare for the overthrow of the government. These are the nut jobs that are buying up all the assault weapons, that are only for mass killings. Now, instead of going threw an expensive trial to give them the death penalty, the government doesn't even have to wait till they bomb a federal building to get rid of these nut jobs, just drone them. The more extreme they get, the more extreme the government response. McVeigh was just an American Al Qaeda.

    Yes. But unfortunately the director of the FBI disagrees..... Did you not see the last part of my post? Here's more

    "In the not too distant future we anticipate that the cyber threat will pose the number one threat to our country."

    "We need to take lessons learned from terrorism and apply them to cybercrime."

    -Robert Mueller (Director of FBI)

    I don't think that quite conflates the two...
    He's saying lessons learnt from one will help fight the other.
    That's not saying Robert Mueller thinks a cyber criminal is a domestic terrorist.
    However, I can see how people can think otherwise if they so wish to.

    finally at least the msm is covering this crucial issue. even the liberals are beginning to wake up out of their comas and think for once. but it may be too late.

    Sad that the cons think it's crucial only when they're not the ones doing it.

    Ah yes, because the CIA and the TSA are soo fucking good at determining who's a terrorist and who's not. Nevermind the fact they placed plenty of 5 year old kid's on the no fly list. Great idea bro.
